. A' was a merry man--took up the child:
. 'Yea,' quoth he, 'dost thou fall upon thy face?
. Thou wilt fall backward when thou hast more wit;
. Wilt thou not, Jule?' and, by my holidame,
. The pretty wretch left crying and said 'Ay.'
. To see, now, how a *JEST* shall come about!

. And, pretty fool, it stinted and said 'Ay.'
